Why letters?
Before you think, "Yeh bhi ek founder story hogi..." 😄 I promise it isn't.
I just wanted to tell you why this exists. It starts with a classroom. And a mystery delivery system.
I don't know if I can explain it perfectly, but I'm going to try.
Back then
My friends and I were in different sections. No WhatsApp. No Instagram. No "last seen".
So we created our own delivery network. Fold a letter. Give it to a friend. They give it to another. Somehow, it reaches the right classroom.
The funny part?
I still have some of those letters.
Every now and then, I open one, and suddenly I'm sitting in that classroom again. Same uniforms, same desks, same friends... and yes, the same terrible handwriting.
I honestly don't remember what I texted someone last Tuesday. But I remember those letters.
Maybe that's why this project became so personal.
Today, we have everything
We have every possible way to communicate. We can message anyone in seconds. Bas type karo aur send. But somehow, I feel we've become faster at sending messages than expressing what's actually in our hearts.
And I think that's what we've lost.
What I believe
I think some words deserve more than a notification. They deserve paper. They deserve to be opened slowly. They deserve to sit in a drawer and be found again years later.
When an order comes in, I remember that it's never just an order. It's someone's apology. Their gratitude. Their love. Or a memory they're holding onto.
That's what this is about.
Why LetterByPost exists
Not because paper is better than technology. I use WhatsApp too. 😄
But because I genuinely believe letters still matter. And I want more of us to have a drawer to open.
